After seeing this photo report on Contemporary Art Daily, I began searching into the artist James Lee Byars and came upon this new online archive initiative by the Museum for Contemporary Art in Antwerp (M HKA) > Ensembles > on which they systematically digitalize everything they have in their archive about one specific artist: photos of visits, invitation cards, artist books, sketches, texts,... The next archive coming up online is that from James Lee Byars. Soon everything will be put online!The photos from the stretched figure in the grass were shot in 1976 for Shadow of an Extra-Terrestrial (The Black Giant of Antwerp).
